Kuala Lumpur, Mar 22 (ANI): Malaysia’s Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim today lodged a police report at the Dang Wangi police station in Kuala Lumpur, denying that he is the man in a sex video screened to media personnel on Monday.

His wife and Parti Keadilan Rakyat chief, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, accompanied Anwar during lodging of the FIR.

Anwar Ibrahim denied that he was the man and dismissed the whole thing as a political ploy, The Star reports.

He said the new video proved that he was the victim of “an evil plot by my political enemies in their attempt to break the march” of the opposition.

The release of a video recording of a man resembling an opposition party leader having sex with a foreign prostitute has shocked Malaysia in the latest scandal to rock the country.

A mysterious Malay man, who identified himself as “Datuk T”, released the video at Carcosa Seri Negara. Invited newsmen were shown the almost 22-minute video under much secrecy and security.

“Datuk T” gave the politician and his wife a week to quit politics and threatened to make public the video through some NGOs if they did not.

The revelation of the tape also overshadowed other events and even rendered the Parliament debates tame as both sides of the divide digested the latest scandal. (ANI)
